Abstract :
Various new nonembeddability results (mainly into L1) are proved via Fourier analysis. In particular, it is shown that the edit distance on {0, 1}d has L1 distortion (log d)12 - o(1)/. We also give new lower bounds on the L1 distortion of quotients of the discrete hypercube under group actions, and the transportation cost (Earthmover) metric.
